Porcelain Pose
“That was me about fifteen years ago. My family and I were at the San Antonio River Walk visiting my brother at boot camp. My mom had been trying to get good pictures of me all day, and after getting none, she took me into the bathroom and said ‘I wish you would pose nice for one photo!’ And when she turned around, I was posed on the toilet just like that. ‘How’s this mom?'”

Blood Brothers
“My husband, the blonde, punctured his kidney while wrestling with his brother who is posing on the right. His injury caused him to pee blood and resulted in major surgery. And his little brother couldn’t have been prouder.”

Signs
“My aunt took me to my first (and only) Broadway audition for Annie. Yes. Annie on Broadway. She put me in a room with professional singers, dancers, and actresses for a shot at the lead role. Her belief in me was nothing short of fantastical. I had no professional headshots (or singing or acting or dancing experience), so they took a Polaroid of me for the audition. Pretty sure the sign above me was merely a coincidence.”

“Me and my siblings and lots of big hair taken near Provo, UT in the late 80s. My mom scoured dozens of department stores looking for the matching red shirts.”

Spandex Warrior
“This is my 8th birthday in 1995 and we were on vacation in Myrtle Beach, SC. My Dad was in love with these royal blue spandex baseball shorts and he walked around shirtless in these shorts for most of our family vacation. He also had them in black and gray.”

The Minnesota Sweats
“My dad grew up in Minnesota, where the tradition of sweating out your worries (and clearly your soul), in a giant, cedar oven is passed down from each white, pasty, Scandinavian generation to the next.”
